Pollinators are essential to ecosystem health and food security, yet native bee populations face increasing threats from habitat loss, climate change, and land-use changes. This report explores how geospatial decision-making tools are being used across Canada, Mexico, and the United States to identify priority areas for native bee inventorying and monitoring. It highlights strategic recommendations […]
Flood-risk management is a major concern for coastal communities, particularly when considering sea-level rise caused by climate change. Nature-based solutions (NBS) have the potential to meet many flood-risk management objectives while also providing social, environmental, and economic co-benefits. This series of guidance documents was designed to support the uptake of NBS in coastal communities across […]
